Hi Sarah,
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. Belle is my favorite princess (gotta love a smart girl who loves books), so I'm happy to assist you with details about the stage show she stars in at
Hollywood Studios.
The
Broadway-style musical is staged in an amphitheater on Sunset Boulevard near Tower of Terror. The 25-minute show normally takes place several times a day, but I suggest checking the Times Guide or the
My Disney Experience mobile app to verify the schedule on the day of your visit.
As I recall from my last viewing of the show, there is open seating and guests can choose any available spot. So, if you think you may need to depart before the show concludes, I would try to position myself on an aisle and near the rear of the theater. That will make it easier for you to get out and will lessen the disturbance to others if you have to leave.
I would encourage you, though, to try to arrange your schedule so that you can stay through the spectacular finale.
If you, too, are a fan of Belle, I also recommend
Enchanted Tales with Belle at Magic Kingdom, where Belle narrates her story with help from some of her guests, and the new
Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along in the France pavilion at Epcot.
Please let us know, Sarah, if we can answer any other questions for you as you make your plans. Enjoy!
Wilma
